I've been going to Flintridge Dental Studio for over 10 years and have always had a great experience. The front desk is friendly, welcoming and easy to deal with. Dr. Harmik is also very good at reading the room and adjusting his bedside manner accordingly. If you need someone to soften the edges a little, he can do that. If he knows you're a big boy and can handle it, he'll give it to you straight and get right to business. If you're more conversational, he's happy to talk things through and share personal experiences as well. I really appreciate that because it never feels scripted. Regina is also the best hygienist I've had. She's gentle but firm with her cleanings, and you actually leave feeling like your teeth were cleaned. She's extremely observant too. She'll notice something as small as the roof of your mouth being irritated because you drank coffee that was too hot. She gives advice and suggestions without ever being pushy or judgmental, and she's genuinely friendly and kind. The office itself is also very up to date. Their systems are digitized, scheduling is easy, appointments can be added to your calendar from a text, and they're very good about sending reminders ahead of time. After more than a decade here, I've never really had a reason to look elsewhere. Definitely recommend them. read more

Crystal answered the phone and was very friendly and helpful with my insurance questions telling me that they are or not in network for various companies. I would definitely like to work with them, but unfortunately, they are not in network with my insurance company. read more

I've had good teeth my whole life and I recently realized this dentist lied to me multiple times about needing fillings for cavities that weren't actually real cavities. He uses this light technology and convinced me that some natural grooves on my tooth were tooth decay and rudely answered that he knew better when I asked how he knew that wasn't just natural tooth texture. I came back for fillings and even his assistant looked confused when we were drilling as he overexplained the "cavities". I got skeptical and the dentist refused to show me the X-rays after he did the fillings. The next time I came he tried to convince me on getting more cavities filled but I did my research and pushed back and said I only wanted it filled if certain characteristics showed up in the X-ray only, and not his light tech. He also lied about nanohydroxyapatite toothpaste being able to fill carries when I asked. He just wants your money. I have 11 fillings over seeing this scamming dentist over the course of 3-4 years that I probably didn't need. Awful experience. Don't go here. read more

Consummate professionals, friendly and honest. I feel very well taken care of and in extremely good hands every visit, which is why I am so grateful to Dr. Derhartounian and the entire staff. I have needed some oral surgery that required out of pocket payments, and they were helpful making sure I could reasonably pay it in a way that was possible for my financial circumstance. Thank you Dr. and staff, you're like family! read more

I've been coming here for some time now and the entire staff here is amazing! All of the staff is always helping and giving so much advice for good health. read more

I went in for an emergency check up, which they told me it would be $60 to take care of my tooth pain. I immediately went before they closed and when I was about to pay, they told me it was $180. I was at their mercy and I had to pay. I went back for a tooth cleaning and they made my gums bleed which my gums have never bleed before and I've had many tooth cleanings in my life. They ended up charging me $200 additional because they had to put some sort of medicine under my gum. I would stay far away from this place because what they quote you is not what you end up paying. read more

I am so glad that I went here for my crown replacement. The staff here really went out of their way to make sure I was happy with the final result. It's not easy to get a perfect color match for a single front tooth, and they were very understanding and patient with me each time I expressed that I wasn't completely satisfied with the shade (we sent the crown back to the lab 4 times!). I was feeling bad about being so picky, but they were very honest, understanding, and - most importantly - generous with their time through the whole process. They truly stand by doing what they can to make their patients happy. I especially want to thank Dr. Harmik, James, and Amanda for providing a professional, friendly, and sweet experience. They do a wonderful job here, you won't regret it! read more

Flintridge Dental Studio - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - La Canada Flintridge, California

I've been going to this dentist for many years. I've realized after the last time beginning of June, 2022 that all this dentist wants is your money. He stays with the same laboratory for the past 20 years knowing that they rip him off and he just passes on their rip off to you. He comes up with his fees according to what his lab dictates. He drives around in a Lamborghini. The help he hires are a bunch of sweet talking puppets. I left because he wanted to charge me almost $8,000 for an implant and crown. He said that if I don't give him an answer right now. Meaning if I wanted to think about it and come back another time the price will most likely go up. I got this implant done elsewhere for $5,000. - That's a 37.5% savings and got better service. In December 2021 he did a full exam. Meaning when a dentist does an exam he's suppose to report back to the patient everything. What did occur he did an exam - told me I needed a tooth pulled and eventually needed an implant. He forgot to tell me about the other half of my mouth - 6 months later after I went somewhere else because he did not take my insurance. ( HMO insurance does not pay enough for him to service his Lamborghini. LOL ). He then tells me I needed 2 root canals at $2,000 a tooth plus another $1,000 for the crown. (times 2) If he would have told me when he first took the x-rays I most likely would not have to go thru that expense. If you are wealthy and like to throw away your money give him a try. However, if you would rather take a trip abroad go elsewhere. What you would save somewhere else could pay for your trip abroad. read more

Truly appreciate the office's professionalism- We were referred to see Dr. Hartounian by a close friend. From the first phone call to the end of our visit it was superb. Very informative, professional, friendly team of staff and doctors. Their office is very flexible with appts and accommodating with emergency care. I highly recommend Dr. Hartounian and his team to anyone in the area with dental care needs. If you are looking for an experienced and professional dentist- This is the office! read more

It doesn't matter what my review is. I was taken advantage of and promised bridge work that I felt very uncomfortable completing. I have the receipt to prove the work that was done yet they denied my review and said I was never a patient. BEWARE and keep in contact with your insurance and make sure they don't charge you on top of the cash you have to pay while you're in the chair bleeding with a hole in your mouth where a tooth used to be. read more

The best doctors an excellent job very nice and friendly environment for people like me who have dentist phobia

Parking: There's a small lot in the back and street parking. Insurance: They take Blue Shield. Service: I'm always scared of the dentist, I gag a lot -_- and I am always afraid the drilling and pain. I started seeing Dr. Harmik last year for some teeth cleaning and I've had discomfort in my last tooth (#2) for a while. I've had a root canal 10 years ago and I knew something was wrong but denied it for at least 6 months :(. Dr. Harmik and his team are amazing, I was really afraid of opening up the crown to see what was under, but he had Dr. Lund (root canal specialist) see me and said that I needed a root canal re-treatment cause through the X-rays, he knew it was poorly done 10 years ago at my last dental studio. After 5 sessions here (removing the crown, re-treatment, tooth mold, and fitting the crown), my tooth is finally complete! I cannot thank Giselle more for her patiences and gentle care with me. I know I have been a really difficult patient but she's very kind, encouraging and VERY professional. And Carolyn who helped with the root canal re-treatment, so gentle, caring and professional! I've never met such a great team, Laisa and Erica are the most professional receptionist. I highly recommend FDS! PC:YA0010 read more

Far and above the best dentist I've ever been to. As a person whose had traumatic experiences with dentists in the past it was quite literally like having a prayer answered. The care they take with their patients and concern for your well being is a perfect example of how a dental office should be. I used to have massive anxiety when a dental visit was looming and since I've started here that's faded away. With a well appointed office, welcoming waiting room and plenty of parking I don't think I'll ever go to another dentist. Ho 0024 read more

From making my first appointment with Amanda, to checkout with Candy, the experience was very pleasant. Everyone was welcoming. The office is equipped with all the most advanced equipment, and both the dentist/owner and his assistant (who has an alphabet soup of a suffix) were professional and friendly. My cleaning was quick, and (mostly, lol) painless. I had a small chip in a difficult area, and Dr. advised me on all the pros and cons of solutions. When we decided on a mini-bonding, they we're both efficient and effective --my tongue no longer has a target for constant attention! Thanks to all the team for a great first visit. They are my new dental office in the LCF! read more

Very friendly staff! Relaxing atmosphere while procedure is being completed. Providers are funny and very easy to talk to. Doctor has a light touch/not rough. I recommend coming here:) read more

It's extremely hard to find a good dentist and I am so thankful I found not only a great dentist whom I trust but also an amazing team. Amanda always sends me a text to remind me of my appointments & the other receptionists are always friendly and welcoming as soon as I walk in. Since day 1 felt welcomed and part of the family; I highly recommend this Dental Studio. You won't be disappointed!! read more

The staff is wonderful and so caring stating from my very 1st visit . Thank for taking care of My teeth ! The office is so comforting and welcoming ! Thank you for everything! read more

I love Flintridge Dental Studio! I've been coming here for about 2 years and refuse to go anywhere else. The staff is super friendly and very helpful. They make me feel comfortable with any questions or concerns I have. Dr. Harmik has a great attitude and quite humorous which I never experienced with any other Dentist. I highly recommend Flintridge Dental Studio! read more

My 3 stars are for the office staff, incredible service. The Dr. however was not willing to work with my denture problem. I was told that he was "unwilling" to help me because I needed super expensive implants and that I had no bone left to hold the denture in. This may be well and true but how does he know? He took no x-rays and said I needed a $250 CT scan just to find out. After my appointment I went to two other dentists who said my bone in my jaw was fine ( after x-rays) and I now am getting beautiful new dentures that fit awesome for only $2,000 not $20,000. I didn;t need a plate in my jaw at this time like the doc said. Don't get me wrong, this is a great place if you have the money to spend on un neccessary procedures, I'm sure everything he told me I could have used....just wasn't absolutely necessary, and he refused to even consider any alternatives. I felt like he didn't listen to me , nor did he really care about my problem. I found a better doctor so it pays to shop around. Who in the hell as a cash patient can sell their home to get dental work they really don't need??? When I asked him if the cost would be over 10,000 he looked at me and said.." oh yeah WAY over 10,000. I now have excellent dentures from another dentist for only $2,000, and can keep my home...lol! read more

I put my faith and my teeth in the hands of Dr. Harmik and his incredible staff . The Dr. and James are so thorough on what is needed and what the procedure will entail. I am so happy with my teeth and the work that has been done so far. It has been an amazing education on implants. I will refer anyone who wants professional and compassionate care for your teeth. Erica was so helpful on finding the right financing program for me as well. read more

Found this place through a flyer they sent out. I couldn't find any real reviews on the place so I just decided to check it out myself, because they had all the state of the art equipment. Sadly, I really loved the place and didn't end up going here, because of the billing. The staff: Super friendly and helpful. They seemed to have bottomless patience and that's a HUGE plus when finding a dental office. The dentist seemed knowledgeable and friendly. He explained everything I needed and eased my fears. (I have a HUGE dentist phobia) Minus a Star: The billing. They have a set up where you pay first and then you get whatever your insurance covers in a few weeks. Not good when dealing with a $4,000 dental bill. They do have a payment plan, but I wasn't going to pay interest on my dental bills while waiting for my insurance check to arrive. The highlight: BEST DENTAL HYGIENIST EVER. No really. I wish I could remember her name, but I was so impressed by her. I always have an enormous problem while taking x-rays. It was even worse here, because the x-ray mouthpieces are big and don't bend, because they're taking digital pictures. Needless to say, she needed help to get my x-rays, because it was so difficult for me. It took AN HOUR just to get them. I was super embarrassed, but she was awesome. She remained positive and kind throughout the entire process. She deserves a major raise. I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone wanting top-notch service and who has the cash or doesn't mind having a dental loan for awhile. AWESOME. read more

I love this dentist office, Dr.Harmik and his staff are outstanding ! Everyone here at this dentist makes you feel like you're family . They genuinely care about you and do all they can to exceed your needs. They all explain everything well and always make me feel comfortable. I have been coming here for about 2 years and I have had nothing but great experiences EVERY TIME (not easy to find a dentist you love) Definitely 10/10 would recommend! read more

I don't usually write reviews about businesses but this dental office went above and beyond to help with my dental emergency. They took me in on a day they don't usually see clients, they made me feel comfortable and relaxed thru my severe Dentophobia and they were beyond friendly and kind. I can't thank & appreciate them enough for their help yesterday. I highly recommend this dental office. read more

Omg Dr. Hamik is amazing! Wonderful dentist. He truly has the magic touch to not make me feel any pain at all. I came across his office through my employment, and from the first time I walked I there all the girls (which I love) jessica, jiselle and erika are beyond sweet and offer the best top notch customer service. I been coming here for 7 months now and dr. Hamik and all his staff never dissapoint. I recommended everyone at my job to come here and they have and my coworkers are happy as well with his superior sevice. He so funny and makes every appt a breeze. And I was once upon a time terrified of needles and dentist, we'll after meeting him not no more!! Thank you Flintridge Dental studio. You guys are awesome! read more

I found Dr. Harmik through a flyer that was sent out. I read a few reviews and was a little skeptical because one reviewer complained about the billing and the need to pay up front. Considering that money clearly does not grow on trees I decided not to let that deter me from finding out for myself. The website and the professional of the staff that answered the phone really made me comfortable in securing an appointment. Upon my arrival I was greeted with nothing but smiles (thank Jessica and Erika). I was given a tour of the facility and I must say I was thoroughly impressed not only by the facility, but the entire experience and I had not even seen Dr. Harmik yet. Dr. Harmik took the time to address my concerns prior to taking xray. Upon review of my xrays, Dr. Harmik outlined a treatment, but explained exactly what needed to be done and why. That really spoke volumes to me compared to other dentists that I have been to, that were just all about the money. Dr. Harmik agenda was simple: "you can't lose anymore teeth". I highly recommend Flintridge Dental Studio to anyone who has not experience how great of an experience the dentist office can really be. I must also comment on Jasmine and Gisele. These ladies are absolute gems, they made me so comfortable that I really forgot I was at the dentist. Also the person that cleans your teeth(sorry forgot her name and title), but she was so patient and extremely thorough. read more

Never thought I would say I love a Dentist, but I really do with this one! Dr. Harmik, and everyone there is so nice. I have never had cleanings or procedures that are as painless as here. Very impressed with their work, my friends say I have never smiled so much before. read more

I was the first patient here and Dr.Harmik really did a great job fixing my teeth and my smile....the equipment is modern and up to date, the treatment is painless and the staff really friendly and helpful. Thank you Dr. Harmik and staff read more

I found Flintridge Dental Studio because I was looking for a Doctor who performs the WaterLase cavity treatment. Of course I went to Yelp first, and everybody seemed to like Dr. Derhartounian quite a bit. Wow. This place was SO nice that I started to worry that my insurance might not cover it. Hah. Yes, my insurance DID cover it. The staff are all extremely friendly and personable. They explained everything to me and were sure that they had answered every question that I had satisfactorily. Dr. Derhartounian takes the time to get to know every patient, so plan ahead when making an appointment. I expected to only be at the office for 2 hours--I wound up staying for 4. This *isn't* a bad thing. We chatted in a back room about my dental history, and even made pleasant small talk. Not only did I learn that my last dentist had wanted to perform an unnecessary procedure, but Dr. Derhartounian wanted to charge LESS than crappy Newport Dental in Covina. I let him fill a few teeth and he was without a doubt the best dentist that I've had. Oh, and Brie just the sweetest person in the world and really great with people's kids. Just amazing. If you have good dental insurance, definitely check this place out. You won't regret it. read more

I had another appointment today and as I always I leave happy and pain free. Ericka is a gem, she is always nice and professional. One of the best things I ever did was to switch to this office years back. I had a severe phobia and I always had to be medicated before dentist visit, but doctor is so kind and gentle in his approach that I have no problem going through my dental visits. read more

Dr. Harmick and his staff take good care of you. They take the fear out of dentistry for me! The staff take the time in explaining every step of the procedure. Dr. Harmick's work on my teeth has been impeccable! read more

My first review on Yelp. Had to! This place is amazing! Very nice and professional staff. Dr. Harmik is so funny, and very informative through the whole process. I will be recommending to my friends & family! read more

This dental office is extremely friendly and professional. I've been coming here for over two years and although I have moved over 30 miles away, I still haven't switched dentists. Every staff member takes the time to get to know you and they actually remember you, unlike other offices. Every treatment and cleaning I have had, has gone great. I am currently still in my Invisalign treatment, but my teeth seem to be getting straighter already. I highly recommend this dental office and even got my husband to come here. read more

I continue to be a happy client of this dental studio because they've been able to work with my needs and schedule. They show that they really care about my dental health. So if you have any dental needs please call and make an appointment and let them show you what I've been talking about. read more

The staff was very professional. They helped ease my nerves and I will definitely return. The place was clean and beautiful.

Great place to go for your Dental care. Very welcoming environment and very helpful staff. They explain all work you are having done and make sure you understand the work that is being done. read more

This is the only dentist office I will ever use! Professional and personal in every way. It is honestly a pleasure to go to the dentist now. read more

Dr. Harmik is the best. Highly skilled - he has corrected poorly-done implants for my husband. He also has the latest equipment for early identification of decay, mouth cancers, etc. (Great chair-side manner too!) Even my teenage daughter, with braces, likes going there. My hygienist noticed subtle damage to the top of my teeth, that somehow my past dentist hadn't seen. I didn't realize I was clenching my jaw all night. I got a night guard (and just tried Botox for TMJ) and my morning headaches have gone away. Front office staff is always accommodating and friendly. Pricing is very competitive - our insurance covers same amount as it has for other dental providers. Highly recommend! read more

This place is the best! Take it from someone who never looked forward to dentist visits before finding Flintridge Dental Studio. Right when you walk through the door Erica makes you feel welcome, great environment! Ask for Jenny, she does a fantastic job, painless and easy. You'll never change dentists again once you try this office. read more

I have been going to this dental studio for about maybe 9 years. And the staff are amazing and friendly and I would totally recommend this place for family and friends. Promo code BR0022 read more
